February 24, 2015Recovery

Here's a little update on my recovery from the injury I suffered during the cyclocross season. In december I already felt some problems with my hamstring, but it haunted me towards the World Championships. I surely wanted to take part in Tábor, but in consultation with the medics of my team I decided to end my season right after this race.

We are now almost a month after the Worlds and after a period in which I had to leave the bike, I feel there's progress in my recovery. For me as an athlete it's not easy to stay calm, but I know that it's necessary to build on my fitness step by step. Full recovery from this injury takes a while, so I have to be patient.

With powerwalks, strength and stability exercises and short bike rides, I'm currently working on my physical strain. At the moment I can't say when I will return to competition, because I can't take risks in my recovery.

I would like to thank my team RaboLiv for their support and patience. Also thanks to the people who helped me with encouraging words and good wishes regarding my recovery. It strengthens me to get back in full spirit again!
